先知到处受尊敬，但本地除外

A prophet is not without honor except in his own country.

先知到处受尊敬，但本地除外；先知在自己的家乡不受欢迎。

据《圣经·新约·马可福音》（Bible, New Testament, Mark）第6章第1-4节记载，耶稣（Jesus Christ）在外名声大振，一次他回到自己的家乡，安息日（Sabbath）时在会堂里讲道，众人听他讲的内容都很吃惊，但心里却瞧不起他，说“这人从哪里有这些事呢？所赐给他的是什么智慧，使他的手能作如此异能呢？这不是木匠吗？这不是玛利亚的儿子，雅各，约西和西门的长兄吗？他的妹妹不也是在我们这里吗？”（”Where does this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands! Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?”），于是，他们觉得耶稣没什么了不起，就厌弃他。

耶稣对他们说：“大凡先知，除了在他的家乡、亲属间、本家之外，没有不被尊敬的。”（A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.）耶稣因为他们不信，就在那里不多行异能。

由此，A prophet is not without honor except in his own country.表示“先知到处受尊敬，但本地除外；先知在自己的家乡不受欢迎”，也就是说，“外来的和尚会念经。”。
